Panningbatan, Administrator Southern Parks, Inc. d/b/a/ Southern Oaks ALF P.O. Box 789 Wauchula, FL 33873 re: Case No.: 2012005197 AMENDED NOTICE OF INTENT TO DENY Dear Ms. Panningbatan: The Agency for Health Care Administration hereby DENIES the application by Southern Parks, Inc. d/b/a Southern Oaks ALF for renewal of its Assisted Living Facility license. The Specific Basis for this determination is a failure by the facility to pay outstanding fines and assessed fees from 2008 in the amount of $154; a failure by the facility to pay an outstanding Medicaid fine in the amount of $6000 in Case #121947000; a failure by the facility to obtain a satisfactory Level 2 background screen for its Chief Financial Officer; and the facility has shown a pattern of deficient practice as indicated in detail below. The applicant failed to meet minimum licensure standards pursuant to Sections 408.809, 408.815(1)(d), 408.831, 429.14(1)(e), 429.14(3), and 429.174, Florida Statutes.’ On June 22, 2010, a complaint investigation was conducted. A widespread Class I deficiency was cited because the facility was found out of compliance with local authorities that oversee building construction codes and water and fire safety standards. The county fire jurisdiction had to issue a cease and desist order to suspend the use of the facility as related to multiple electrical violations; a “boil water” alert had also been put in place and all of the facility’s 49 residents had to be relocated on an emergency basis. A widespread Class II deficiency was also cited for the facility’s failure to maintain a safe and decent living environment and physical plant. The place was filthy throughout, including mattresses in the rooms, dirty floors & walls, bathrooms had mold, toilets were filled with feces and cigarette butts, blinds were broken, cockroaches were everywhere. The facility agreed to an immediate moratorium on admissions until corrections were made and approved by the Agency. On May 18, 2011, a complaint investigation was conducted. Four Class Il deficiencies were cited because the facility had failed to assure that its staff had received training in basic CPR and ' For each citation subsequently noted, the relevant section(s) of the Florida Statutes or Administrative Rule(s) violated, as was provided contemporaneously to the facility in writing, is incorporated herein by reference. SIN Headquarters 2727 Mahan Drive Tallahassee, FL 32308 http:/fahca.myflorida.com Area Office 525 Mirror Lake Drive, N. Sebring Building, #330H St. Peter wr 33701 EXHIBIT 4 First Aid, failed to assure proper training for its staff who worked with mental health residents, failed to assure sufficient staff to provide the necessary supervision, safety and care to the residents, and failed to obtain and keep the required medical examination reports for the residents. A patterned Class II deficiency was also cited for the facility’s failure to assure the required criminal background clearance for employees who were providing personal services. On June 28, 2011, a revisit to the complaint investigation was conducted and the facility had failed to correct the cited deficiencies. The Agency cited four uncorrected Class III deficiencies as it still lacked sufficient staff to provide proper care and supervision; it lacked sufficient qualified staff to care for the mental health residents; it failed to provide minimum staffing hours and it had still not required proper training in CPR and First Aid for the staff providing services. On July 22, 2011, a follow up survey was conducted in regard to the above and three Class III deficiencies were cited. The deficiencies included that the facility was failing to provide care and services appropriate to the needs of the residents, medications were being mishandled, and the physical plant was still filthy with evidence of pest and/or insect droppings. On September 15, 2011, a second revisit to the June 28 complaint investigation was conducted and two uncorrected Class III deficiencies were cited. The facility had still not required the proper training in CPR and First Aid for staff providing personal services and had failed to assure that one staff member trained in CPR and First Aid were available on all shifts. Corrections were not completed until October 27, 2010. On August 4, 2011, a monitoring visit was conducted with “operation spot check.” Twelve Class III deficiencies were cited, including: a) residents’ health assessments indicated that they were inappropriate for assisted living; b) some residents lacked the required health assessments; c) documentation was lacking to show that the residents were receiving proper activities; d) the facility had no elopement policy and had failed to conduct elopement drills as required; e) the facility was assisting a resident with medication when there was no signed physician order for same; f) the facility had failed to put in place the required Do Not Resuscitate (“DNR”) policy; g) staff members were lacking the required training in abuse, neglect, resident rights, emergency procedures and reporting adverse incidents; h) the facility administrator lacked the required nutrition and food service training; i) the facility staff lacked the required training for DNR; j) the facility had failed to obtain the required surety bond before acting as representative payee for residents; j) the facility had failed to maintain a safe living environment with regard to sanitation; and k) the facility had failed to assure that it had contracts with all of its residents. On November 17, 2011, another complaint survey was conducted along with a revisit. Two Class III deficiencies were cited. The medication observation record was found not to match the medication orders for residents on healthcare forms signed by their physicians. The residents had been receiving medications which were not ordered and had been missing medications that their physicians had ordered for them. The deficiencies appeared to be corrected on January 31, 2012, when the Agency conducted three complaint surveys. On March 5, 2012, a complaint survey was conducted in conjunction with a revisit survey and two Class III deficiencies were cited. The facility was failing to fill out the medication observation record appropriately and it was using an outdated form for the heaithcare assessments for the residents. Corrections had been made when the Agency returned on April 26, 2012. The Class I and Class II deficiencies along with an extraordinarily-large number of Class III deficiencies supports the Agency’s denial.
